Learning Activity 6-C-1 Instructions


  1. In Module 4, you were introduced to the article “Everything About Bumble Bees.” Using this article as a basis for information to write about (or respond to), write two different poems about bumble bees in a word processing document. You can use the steps suggested by Karla Kushkin. Although the type of poem you write is up to you, you might consider writing one acrostic poem and one free form (non-rhyming) poem.
  2. Still in the word processing document, briefly explain how would you adapt the steps Karla Kushkin describes to teach a similar activity in your own classroom.
  3. Click the Edit tab in the upper-right corner.
  4. Scroll down the page until you see the first empty Teaching Poetry Activity space.
  5. Highlight the "Your Name" text.
  6. Type your name.
  7. Highlight the "Paste Poem 1 here." text.
  8. Copy your first poem from the word processing document and paste it here.
  9. Highlight the "Paste Poem 2 here." text.
  10. Copy your second poem from the word processing document and paste it here.
  11. Highlight the "Adapted steps here." text.
  12. Copy your explanation from the word processing document and paste it here
  13. Press Save on the Editor bar.

For you to think about: What sort of challenges did you face when you were writing your poem? What kinds of challenges do you think your students might face? How would you address these?
